Sell on Cite

Sell from wherever the people are.

Go live from your phone and your pin follows you until you close. The people who follow you find out you’re out.

An ice cream truck on its round, a cart outside the gate after class, somebody with a bag of what they baked.

Checked once. Anybody can apply, on campus or off. A person checks each shop once.

01Who it is for

If you sell from where you are, the map can follow you.

A pin that stays put is right for a shop with a door, and wrong for a truck on a round. A shop on the move keeps its photo, stock and followers. Only the spot moves.

Truck

Your followers are at the gate before the bell

Ice cream, jerk, coconuts. The pin goes where the truck goes, and followers are told when you set out.

Cart

Nobody guesses which corner you picked

The gate in the morning, the taxi stand in the afternoon. Open where you’re standing, close when you pack up.

Student

Sell between classes, no business needed

Baked goods, lashes, phone cases. Apply as a person, with your student ID or a government ID.

Business

Every truck, one dashboard

Each truck is its own place with its own drivers, run like a fixed shop. A claimed place switches over without a second check.

02How it works

Apply once. After that, it’s yours to open.

You’re checked once, not every time you go out. After that, opening, closing and changing what’s in stock never wait on anybody.

    A person checks it, then deletes your ID

    Somebody on the Cite team matches the ID to you, and approves or explains why not. The ID photo is gone once they’ve decided.

  3. 3
    Go live

    Your pin follows you until you close.

    Go live when you’re out

    An hour, two, four, or until you close. The pin follows your phone, and comes off the map the moment you close or your time runs out.

03Safety

Your location is shared while you’re open, and not a minute after.

Selling from where you are means telling strangers where that is. So the rules are short, and they aren’t settings you have to find.

Rule 1

Closed means invisible, to Cite too

Cite keeps your latest point and nothing before it: no trail. Close, or run out of time, and it’s cleared. Phone quiet for ten minutes? The shop closes itself.

Rule 2

It never follows you home

You draw where you sell when you apply. Leave that area and sharing stops on its own. For a person, this is always on.

Rule 3

Buyers see your shop’s name, not yours

The name you sell under, your stock and how you take payment. Your own name stays on your account.

Rule 4

Reports reach a person

Anybody can report a shop from its pin. The Cite team reads it, and can pause a shop while they look into it.

The full detail is in the privacy policy, and what may and may not be sold is in the terms.

04What it costs

Free to apply. A plan when you go live.

Get approved and set up first, then pay when you’re ready to sell. Cite never touches a sale: buyers pay you directly, by cash, Lynk or bank transfer.
